Classroom Alive. An experiment in living learning.

The Idea

I want to learn how to re-invent my post-secondary education to be a living, independent, rigorous and practical whole. As well as how to design this individual path into a replicable model for others who want the same from their education. For more info visit: www.wix.com/thoughtslight/thisisit

The Plan

I will spend the next year researching and experimenting with creating a cohesive individual curriculum and a living model of independent education.
The steps.
1)Set specific research questions and goals for studies (topics, deadlines, projects).
2)Collect, organize, and design material (e.g. online courses, books) and sources (e.g skillshare.com) into 3.5 month courses of study, based on my research questions.
3)Research, formulate and implement structure that will create a productive learning environment (e.g. study groups, mentors, practical engagement).
3)Undertake study, integrating practical and theoretical components.
4)Share results and use fundings to update living model on the website.
Note Steps 3-4 are repeated cyclically.

How will you share your learning plan with the community?

All the plans for for my self designed curriculum and the living model will be available to anyone through the website. Funds will go to hosting open workshops/lectures from my research questions. This will help me engage the topic better and share knowledge for free with others who are interested.
